Fantasy Tip: With the roster makeover Miami did in the offseason to compete, this comes as no surprise. A new regime could have different ideas on how to play players, so stay tuned and see what happens in Miami.

As many as four roster spots — three bench jobs and a bullpen role — remain unsettled as the Miami Marlins prepare to break camp and embark on the season. "It's going down to the last day to make those decisions," manager Mike Redmond said. The team has not ruled out making trades to fill those spots.

Now that he has had some time to think about his lineup, Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond said he's thinking about batting OF Giancarlo Stanton third instead of the cleanup spot. "I'd like to see him come up in the first inning," Redmond said. "You think about other power hitters. Mark McGwire, he hit third."
